The great slippery-slope argument

Medical ethics question the severity and the practice of euthanasia of a voluntary nature by challenging its legalization. If legalized, there is the fear that voluntary euthanasia would gradually be practiced more frequently, resulting in a degradation of medicine's practices and a display of genocidal tendencies. Euthanasia is a means to relieve the sufferings of a person while genocide is a method of relieving the sufferings of a social group of people or a community afflicted by disease.
